Ita all about the heat. If your hand can stand the heat and its comfortable then the plant will be comfotable. And your trying to recreate the sun inside. So i would lower it a little bit.

Yes it does that why you have to do a 2 minuted hand heat test. And you need one of those humidity temp monitors at the plants canopy. To see what going on.

Like Preybird says it´s all about heat, but if you wanna know more about the distance between lights and plants the key is: Inverse-square law


@gage your 315w CMH every 30cm(Ft) far from plants lose 50% μmol.
Have a nice day.

Light intensity always amazes me. How it affects the growth. Some times its annoying. I want to take my 10 x 10 tent and make the entire ceiling led boards. I like to run 8 boards per 4x4 area. Thats what i use in my grows now. But i have a Foshe light and my God thats a cool ass light. I want 3 more but exspensive @ $4800
